Jacqueline Simcox

November 2-11

Jacqueline Simcox specialises in silk textiles from China and central Asia, but one highlight she will show during AAL is a Chinese perfumiere (below). Gilt with inlaid turquoise, the piece measures 3in (9cm) and has yellow cords. It is apparently unique – Simcox has been unable to find any other examples in her research – and it is possibly a tribute from Guangdong, a province known for sending finely worked art items to Beijing to the imperial court from c.1800. It is offered for £18,000.
